Tharbis

Tharbis was a Cushite princess who married Moses in 1544 BC.

Biography
Tharbis was born in Cush, the daughter of King Merops of Cush and the widow of Kikianus. In 1544 BC, the Egyptian prince Moses led an army against the Cushites and defeated them at Saba with Tharbis' help, as Tharbis agreed to hand over the city in exchange for Moses marrying her. After the war, Tharbis insisted that Moses remain in Ethiopia as her husband, but Moses refused, instead returning to Egypt. Tharbis and her brother, King Bekila, visited Egypt to reward Moses with a special necklace, and they presented Pharaoh Seti I with tribute.
